Yes, I started the same process after leaving my wallet and phone on the seat and riding off. Someone handed in the wallet to the local police station but what happened to the phone was barely believable.
I called the phone when I got home and someone answered it! He lived in Naike on SH22 so the phone must have got stuck somewhere on the bike, then finally fell off outside his house. He found it beside the drive.
The phone case was trashed but it did its job as the phone was OK. A bit of a ride to retrieve it but I never expected to see it again.
Some insurance companies have signed a memorandum of understanding with Ride Forever.
Companies include Vero, Protecta, the Kiwibike companies. Mainly the ones who specialize in motorcycles.
Some do a discounted premium, some reduce your excess for a year, some do different things.
It's worth checking with your own insurer. Ride Forever courses reduce your risk, so reduce the exposure of the insurance company.
some agencies spend a lot of their time training in preparation for the thing they do, military, SAR, FENZ etc, maybe you can tap into that idea? "Train hard, ride easy"
Endorsement seems to work as well, I like the social media vids with the lads from the Warriors, that kind of thing
Maybe Avalon Biddle, Sloan Frost, the various Rees's, Jay Lawrence, successful (and fast) riders who know the value of training, they just don't arrive at the track, pull the bike out and everything clicks, they have to work at being as good as they are.
Maybe they can talk about the difference between road and track? Av has done some stuff in the magazines and her own FB about road training, maybe tap into that a bit more?
Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times you have your breath taken away
Am aware, I met Avalon and heard her presentation at a Shiny Side Up. My point is she has a useful (and powerful) message which could be utilised more/betterer. I wonder if using mainstream media would add to effectiveness? Would do Motorsport no harm to have its profile raised simultaneously.

Who would have known that I'd be going to the job I'm going to when I gave all those pucks away in 2013/2014.
I've completed at least four Ride Forever courses.
It might be stating the obvious, but I think they have made me a better car driver as well as a better bike rider.
There could be an angle there somehow.
